Surrey Police Say No Evidence Supports Epsom Rape Report
Detectives say CCTV, forensics and witness checks have not confirmed the reported rape, and no evidence links asylum seekers or immigrants.
- On Friday, Surrey Police stated there is "no evidence" that asylum seekers or immigrants were involved in the alleged rape outside Epsom Methodist Church, with Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Grahame confirming officers have "not found any evidence of the offence as reported."
- Following reports that a woman in her 20s was attacked outside Epsom Methodist Church early Saturday, "widespread speculation and commentary" regarding suspect ethnicity prompted police to address public concerns about the incident.
- Protests erupted in Epsom on Wednesday evening, with demonstrators gathering in the town centre as objects were thrown at police officers during an event promoted by Danny Tommo, a former associate of Tommy Robinson.
- Epsom MP Helen Maguire condemned the protest, stating it was hijacked by "right-wing online activists" attempting to "fan the flames of divisiveness" following online rumours about suspect ethnicity.
- Surrey Police maintains an increased presence in Epsom over the weekend, urging anyone with footage to contact officers via 101, quoting reference PR/45260041426, as the investigation remains ongoing.
